#125 of 139 NITRO PCM & TIPM Problem by 2fresh Aug 21, 2008 (11:16 am)
I have a 2007 Nitro SLT. It has shut off on me several times, even on the highway going 65 plus. There was a recall on the truck, I took it last year 08/07 to have the recall performed. The NITRO shut off on me again a few days ago, it is in the shop again. I really fear for my safety. Finally, the repair shop calls me and tells me I need a Flashupdate to my TIPM & PCM and are asking that I pay a 100 dect. for this. Are they serious? I said this is the same reason why it was in the shop last year and you are making me pay for something that was never fixed. What should I do, I don't feel safe. My truck has cut off on me at least 7 times on the road. I will never get a DODGE again.

bought my Nitro in August 2007 and LOVE IT!!!! Had a smaller SUV that had a new engine put in and after that the car died repeatedly. Spent 2 months in the shop, they couldn't find what was wrong. Traded it in after they declared nothing was wrong with it. My Nitro runs smooth, handles great in the snow, has plenty of space and is a comfy ride for anyone inside. Better on gas mileage than any of the other SUVs I've owned. Sorry to hear about anyone having problems. I certainly had my share over the 2 years prior to my Nitro purchase.

Now I have rust spots on the rear door and paint blisters on the hood. Also sometimes driving all the dash lights go crazy,then my tire low light came on and said I had 19 pounds of pressure, so I got out and there was nothing wrong with my tire, once my rear window stuck and wouldnt go up or down. I've had alot of issuses with it. Has any one else?

Replying to: pmcarsella (Jan 21, 2009 6:14 pm) I have had the same problems with the dash lights going crazy, and my tire low light has come on many times, but nothing wrong with tire pressure. The dealership has flashed the computer 4 times for the dash light problem, but it still does it periodically. I have a shudder between 40-45 miles per hour especially when pulling a hill.....but the dealership can't find a problem....say maybe it is the tork converter...but of course, have not offered to replace it......I have decided I will drive this thing until the wheels fall off ( which could be any day now!!!!!). I will never purchase Nitro again......I had a Dodge Durango before the nitro and I loved it!!Still haven't figured out why I traded for this "haunted" Nitro..........Oh yeah, had to have the luggage racks replaced due to them cracking.....also the drivers seat sort of fell apart and had to have it replaced..............last week!! I have had this car since August 2007, have 30,000 miles on it and it seems to be in the garage every 3-5 thousand miles......It just doesn't seem to me that the Chrysler Corporation wants to admit to any problems with the Nitros......

#130 of 139 2008 SXT 2.8 CRD by horianov Jan 30, 2009 (1:51 am)
Dear all, I have buy a Nitro SXT 2,8 CRD in 4 July 2008, beginning with second day I have got some noise inside of the car and some vibrations at the wheel and pedals. This is taking at beginning 30min after that more. I was at service between 7 July and 8 august in every week for 7 times. The diagnostic was one pipe from fuel feed system it is in a wrong position, after that was fuel filter, then fuel pomp, after that they change the pipe. Every time they say you can drive safely do not worry, but in my hart I have a bad feeling. Finally I was happy with my nitro without any noise and vibrations, but in December 6 when I drive around 1000km, on the way back to home I have remark that average consumption have grow dramatically. The problem was the same pipe that was cut, in engine area, by the same vibration that comes back in this trip only when I accelerate.If is anybody here who can help me or to advice about what is happened in your country in same situations I will be glad. Honestly I'm afraid to drive this car again and I want to change the car or to get many back.

I have a 2009 Nitro when you leave the front windows up and put a back window down and go over 40 mph the Nitro shakes so bad you can hardly hold it on the road. It sounds like you have a flat tire. My dealer said Dodge knew this was a problem but let it go. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if they have what they did about it.

Replying to: mary58 (Mar 25, 2009 3:06 pm) This is not an unusual phenomenon for boxy tall vehicles. I have a crew cab full size Silverado pickup and if you do the same thing, the wind noise and buffetting will be almost unbearable. Just do not open the rear windows without opening the front ones. The best combination as I found is opening the driver's door window all the way and then opening the left rear door window partially.
